We were just looking for a little night out to have a good time. Alley Cat worked well. It seemed like $2.50 Bud Light bottles was reasonable for a Saturday night. The $7 cover to get in initially kept us from leaving early, but the band playing that night ended up being enjoyable.
The highlight of my night was the bartender. Not only would he do the fancy stuff for the mixed drinks, he even made a production out of popping off the beer cap. Maybe i'm too easy, but it was cooler then simply twisting it off.
Unfortunately we didn't get to sit on the patio, but i would definitely go back to try out the outside seating.
